The NRL (National Rugby League) will start on Thursday, March 7. If you wish to play, please stick your name on the list, and have a quick read through a few simple rules.

- One point a correct pick, nothing for a loss.- Default if you forget to pick, wooden spoon score.- Tiebreaker will be HoF v Spoons. Largest margin wins, or if the margin is equal, total HoF count wins.- Deadline is kick-off in the first game, usually 7:30pm on Friday night. It could be earlier, if the NZ Warriors have a Friday night game at home.- Latecomers will start on the same amount of points as the last-placed active tipster.- One bonus point for a perfect score.

There were some very close games this weekend. Brisbane snuck home in the Queensland derby, Newcastle beat Penrith in a low-scoring affair, Canberra beat NZ, Souths lost to Melbourne in the top-of-the-table clash. StGeorge beat Tigers in a thriller and Gold Coast came from behind to topple Parramatta. The Roosters, however, are crowing- the 38-0 scoreline will spark memories from those who were around in 1975...

paper_aero picked the lot, and has jumped out to a four point lead. gtho4 and LeoDaVinci both scored a 5/8 and are recipients of spoons.

Scores were all oover the place this week. Penrith beat Melbourne and no-one picked that one, and Parramatta beat Brisbabe- only wwe84 was game enough to go for the upset. There were quite a few games that could have gone either way, which shows in the range of our tipping prowess; we had every number between 1 and 6 represented!

paper_aero is still cruising along in front, and that gap is getting larger...
